Point made. I've never watched another one since, LOL.

Good point, definitely a waste of time. I am so glad I quit watching them & don't even miss them...

I can remember my mom watching "The Secret Storm" and "As the World Turns".

My DH and I are heartbroken. We've watched them since they came on. One's canceling in September and the other in January. They are being replaced with shows like The View.

I haven't watched in years either but used to watch ABC's every day. I remember when One Life to Live began.

Whilst I haven't watched any soaps in years, at least they provided alternatives to all the so-called reality shows for some viewers. The lack of scripted shows in the true sense is appalling. The networks have no one to blame but themselves for their gradual demise.

how sad for so many SRs on SSI who can not afford cable TV...they have so little left to watch at all these days, the soaps were something they grew up with and loved....

I wish our society had a NO SR left behind act!

Every Monday through Friday I go to work, and about the only thing I look forward to during the day is waiting for lunch so I can watch "One Life To Live"...I may have to retire now :)

Gee I wonder what my DS will tape every day now? She is completely addicted to these two soaps. I guess I should send her a sympathy card. She started watching them when we were young girls. I never got 'into' them. I had too much fun 'hanging' with my brothers and their friends.
